    Why still no charging the mound incidents?

    I remember last year we have Youkilis vs Porcello and Posada vs Jesse Carlson. Has there been any this season?

    Who cares? Charging the mound is ridiculous. I think players ought to be suspended longer. There is no place for it.

    Yea, but the Nolan Ryan head lock was one of the coolest thing I have seen in sports! Not for mound charging though!

    Maybe they found their brains! Sure looks looks funny though, usually end up looking like a wannabe-rhino.

    I don't know why there hasn't been. Maybe the pitchers will start charging home plate instead in the 2nd half of the season since they aren't getting any action at the mound.

    too much media surrounding any incident.

    look at the phils and theyre tazer incident. thing went on for days

    ...and they guy deserved it.

    media would go wild these days for something along the 'charge the mound' line

    Also thought about that. Their doctors have them on "no charging the mound"-leash, or else they're gonna get a pacemaker.

    Outside of a couple incidents, absolutely nothing ends up happening just a whole bunch of grown men holding each other.

    I personally feel that sports has gotten less and less competitive, and therefore less loss of temper because everyone is getting paid rediculus money. Look at the NBA these guys practically wank each other off before the game at center court. They don't give a shit they all just want to be rich.

    No catchers protect the plate either. Too risky to their careers I guess? Weak sauce!

    Damn if only such a prop exists! Morgan charged the mound last night at Volstad! Who would have predicted that?
